Providing Relief for Black Families Impacted by LA Wildfires

The wildfires in Los Angeles have had a heartbreaking impact, especially on Black families from the Pasadena/Altadena region. As a community-rooted effort, Community Aid Dena, AFROPUNK, and WalkGood LA came together to amplify the GoFundMe Campaigns of Black families displaced by the Eaton Fire, through a consolidated list entitled Displaced Black Families GoFundMe Directory.

Powered by Flavor Flav, this fundraiser further amplifies the collective efforts to generate funds in support of Black families as they navigate displacement, loss of income, grief, essential needs in the short-term as they seek to rebuild.

The Black community in Altadena shares a rich, historic, and resilient legacy, one spanning multiple generations. They paved a way for themselves through the Great Migration, segregation, redlining, and more to establish a community where their families could build, grow, and celebrate life together. Now, generations later they face an unimaginable tragedy brought on by the LA county wildfires.
